Sodipodi package on NetBSD is NOT broken. An upgrade
to 0.31 has namespaces which are more strict than
previously. Change that attrib in the rootmost <svg>
tag so that old Sodipodi files will open just fine
in ugraded Sodipodi 0.31 version.

FIX 1:

Files made with 0.28 had a bug which hurt nothing
until now. The namespace was wrong as follows..

   xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000.svg"

...so just change it to...

   xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"

...and that fixes the 0.28 file for 0.31.

FIX 2:

Likewise for 0.25 files. The namespace
in those was not buggy, but it is now
very out-of-date. So just make that
namespace the same as above...

   xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"

...and that fixes the 0.25 file for 0.31.

Do this with a text editor in both
cases and then re-open in 0.31 and
re-save. Total fix.

Enjoy,

Gan
